22 Jul 1938 - 17 Aug 2025 (87 years)

Terence Henry Stamp was an English actor. Known for his sophisticated villain roles, he received various accolades including a Golden Globe Award, a Cannes Film Festival Award as well as nominations for an Academy Award and two BAFTA Awards. He was named by Empire as one of the 100 Sexiest Film Stars of All Time in 1995.

Associated with the Swinging London scene of the 1960s – during which time he was in high-profile relationships with actress Julie Christie and supermodel Jean Shrimpton – Stamp was among the subjects photographed by David Bailey for a set titled Box of Pin-Ups. He and Shrimpton were one of the most-photographed couples of Mod London. After Shrimpton ended her relationship with Stamp, he moved to India.

On New Year's Eve 2002, Stamp married for the first and only time at the age of 64. His 29-year-old bride was Elizabeth O'Rourke, whom Stamp first met in the mid-1990s at a chemist's shop in Bondi, New South Wales. Of Irish-Australian and Indian-Singaporean parentage, O'Rourke was raised in Singapore before moving to Australia in her early twenties to study pharmacology. The couple divorced on the grounds of his "unreasonable behaviour" in April 2008.

Stamp died on 17 August 2025, at the age of 87. Filmmaker Edgar Wright, who directed him in his final screen role Last Night in Soho (2021), wrote in part, "Terence was kind, funny, and endlessly fascinating. I loved ... reminiscing about his films, going back to his debut in Billy Budd. Terence was a true movie star: the camera loved him, and he loved it right back".
